the cage slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

The shape of the reels used in The Cage looks very unusual at first glance, but there was one other game that I could recall, which featured something very similar. That game is Dead Canary, another Nolimit City slot we rated 8.2 in our review a few months earlier. Dead Canary’s playfield was a little smaller than the one used in The Cage and had fewer payways; despite this, the earlier game offered a much larger jackpot of 65,000x the total bet. This very likely indicates that The Cage is slightly less volatile than its predecessor, but don’t get the wrong idea – this is still a super-high variance machine that will have no problem emptying your bankroll in record time if you catch it on a bad day! 

When a slot offers thousands of pay ways, it inevitably makes it much more difficult for the developers to include big numbers on the paytable. In reality, this doesn’t matter very much – you just need to win on multiple payways simultaneously to boost the value of your prize. Nevertheless, seeing the highest-paying Little Dragon symbol listed at just 4x the total bet is still a little bit concerning, especially when you need a nine of a kind combination to win it! The remaining high-paying character symbols feature The Constrictor, worth 3.75x for all nine symbols, One Glove Man, who pays 3.5x for a complete payway, and Ironjaw and Big Fatty, both of whom will award you 3.25x your stake if you manage one of those elusive nine of a kind combinations. As for the low pays, there’s nothing in it to be honest – nine aces or kings will get you 3x your bet back in winnings, whilst the queens, jacks, and tens are a little less valuable at 2.5x each for a complete pay way.

Most Nolimit City slots offer a relatively wide range of betting options. The Cage continues that trend with minimum/maximum wager limits of €0.20 and €100.00, respectively, and you’ll have no problem finding a suitable bet between those limits either. 

base game & modifiers

It’s finally time to talk about the base game! I mentioned in the opening paragraph that The Cage utilises a very unusual playfield design, the reason being that the game uses a 3-4-3-4-3-4-3 reel layout – I don’t think I’ve ever come across that before! But it gets even stranger – during the Title Fight Free Spins, the reel area changes to a 3-3-3-2-2-2-3-3-3 arrangement instead!

Scatter symbols can appear anywhere on the playfield, which should mean that you can hit more than three of them. The paytable does not mention anything about this, unfortunately, and only tells us that hitting three scatters will trigger the Title Fight Free Spins.
